[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] [QUOTE]it's very unlikely the ship was a TOS model: NOTHING worked on that junkpile in STV and it's layout was diffrent enough that a drunken Scotty knocked himself out on a pipe.[/QUOTE]How does that prove it ISN'T a TOS model? Remember that the Yorktown was the ship that had to rig a solar sail. For all we know, all the ships affected by the probe experienced similar computer malfunctions which took long refit times to repair. Suggesting that the ship is a more recent model does however support the notion that the entire Connie line was scrapped after Star Trek VI - why retire a perfectly good ship when its only twenty or so years old? Remember that Kirk states that the ship is due to be retired [b]before[/b] it gets punched full of big holes. Also, what does the pipe prove - Scotty wasn't paying attention, or was drunk, or that the ship's refit was incomplete, that the ship was in the process of a second refit (hinted at by the change in bridges between STIV and STV), *or* to a different design of the original Enterprise - let's not forget that the interior of the ship (the corridors, the shuttlebay, transporter room) looked quite different then that of the Enterprise we saw in previous movies (I know thats because they were using TNG sets for a lot of it, but there's got to be a "real world" explanation).
